Yes, but they don't have the capability or the number of smart weapons to use like that to defend their ships like we do.

Video using Hellfires.

Note from the intercepted radio from the ship, posted by Prime earlier, that it was reported to be on air defense duty for the Kerch Bridge.

This opens the way for an attack on the bridge.

If it is in  the bridge approach, could the wreck itself be a hazard to navigation and need to be removed?

Nuland handed out cookies during Maidan square protests. She was instrumental in getting the mind control drugs inot the citizens so they could vote for the referendum to become an eu trading partner.
She was solely responsible for poroshenko's decision to ignore the referendum, and sign a deal with russia.
Then she hypnotized the Ukrainian population and forced them to throw out poroshenko.
She is a master strategist much like darth putin.

I’m skeptical of this and tend to think they attack in a set order, and the first wave operators just aren’t leading ship’s course enough, so they invariably get pulled into a “pursuit curve” attack that finishes going right up the wake.
Yes, that might cripple the ship, at which point the remaining operators have an easier time leading the ship and hitting broadside.  But I tend to think that overall it’s a sub-optimal outcome.
The 3rd person view also (IMO) confirms they have fuse/detonation issues and that a better warhead/fuse design could make the system more effective.

They are effective enough to sink the ship.

Yeah but they’ve also hit several ships they didn’t sink or even damage too badly.  Sergey Kotov was one of them.

You really don't want to use land based air defense systems on naval platforms, because they aren't stabilized for the roll and pitch of the ship.  Their radar systems also are not optimized for working over water.

The bridge threat is also a great way to keep drawing ships with air defense capabilities out into the open.

You really don't want to use land based air defense systems on naval platforms, because they aren't stabilized for the roll and pitch of the ship.  Their radar systems also are not optimized for working over water.



The #Russians planned to deploy an air defense system on the ship "Sergey Kotov" - #GUR

There had already been successful attacks on the ship, but it was restored. This time “Sergei Kotov” was definitely destroyed, said Andrei Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
https://t.me/Pravda_Gerashchenko/88763

💬 “The enemy had plans for him. In addition to the patrol boat itself, there were also plans to place anti-aircraft missile systems on the ship itself, and there have already been such attempts. There are dead and wounded. Part of the crew was able to evacuate, so the exact information is being clarified,” Yusov said.

The cost of such a vessel is more than $60 million. “Sergey Kotov”, together with the cruiser “Moskva”, took part in the attack on Zmeiny Island.

You’re looking at the fantail hits there, and the 22160s have an open deck below the landing platform as you can see here.  Notably, there isn’t any video footage from late-attacking drones that shows obvious damage to the ship’s hull, like a big hole

The explosion higher on the ship. But I suppose since the vids are not in order it could have been the explosion

Do the Russians have javelins?
Using a drone drop or kamikaze depends on having multiple drones/kamikazes up at essentially all hours, with thermal cameras, especially at night, and in a marine environment.  Practically speaking, that isn’t going to happen.
A report allegedly from inside the Russian navy regarding the firing of the possibly dead Admiral Sokolov said they didn’t allow non-standard weapons on board, didn’t try to procure thermal/NV, and didn’t allow non-issue jammers.  Hard to say how true that is.
Most likely we’re looking at systemic incompetence and lack of initiative, a lack of proper staff work to assess the risks honestly and devise a plan to mitigate them, and possibly political pressure to carry on regardless.
They should’ve had ten PKMs strapped to the rails, with preferably crew NV, or white lights if NV couldn’t be sourced.
There’s no way this attack should’ve worked at this point.

Usually ASMs or cruise missiles are stored in waterproof containers that pop open during launch.

We are not trying to get our hands on the countless treasures of Square - wheat, steel, gas, coal. In fact, it turns out that these riches are now, unfortunately, almost absent.

But in general, in the current Bandera-era Ukraine, unfortunately, there is nothing special in terms of the economy that Russia, unlike, by the way, Western countries, does not possess itself, and in much larger quantities. They must understand this. In Ukraine, our main wealth is of a completely different kind. The great value that we will not give up to anyone for anything is people. People are close to us and, in fact, family.

Medvedev casually hinted at what was already clear: the published recording of the conversation between the German generals is only one of many available. And the rest are
much more interesting. And they published it precisely as a polite warning. So that the Germans do not run so energetically after the Washington boss.
